On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox formally announced that former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman would be sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket (R.I.).
Workman was sent down to make room on the Red Sox roster for pitcher Rubby De La Rosa, who was slated to pitch on Wednesday night.
Workman took the demotion in stride when speaking with reporters, including Jen McCaffrey with MassLive.com.
“Definitely, it’s not ideal,” Workman said. “It’s not what I was hoping to hear after the game, but it’s part of it. I just have to keep putting my work in, keep getting better and get ready to throw again.”
Workman’s next start could come while with Pawtucket, possibly this weekend in Toledo (Ohio).
One possible reason for Workman’s demotion is the looming All-Star break, which begins July 14 and runs through July 17. His next possible start in the major leagues wouldn’t have been for at least 10 days.
Red Sox manager John Farrell didn’t comment on the move, although the organization is still committed to him. Boston could become sellers at the trade deadline later this month, and that could open up more spots in the starting rotation as well.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
